Leighton Hall Carnforth
Sunday 15th August
On arrival you will have a light lunch consisting of soup and sandwiches, after which you will be able to tour Leighton Hall, which is very much a lived-in house rather than a stuffy museum, there are no roped-off areas, and you won’t find anyone shouting, 'don’t touch!' at your children! The Hall’s history is brought to life by the guides. Each room from the modest chapel to the imposing dining room is still used every day by the Gillow family. With lots of funny and fascinating tales to reveal, the family’s ancestry means there are plenty of unusual pieces of furniture and paintings to enjoy. The Main Garden offers plenty of tranquil space where you are welcome to stroll, relax and explore. For flower lovers, the borders are at their best from late Spring to early Autumn with informal herbaceous beds and an abundance of climbing roses. Look at the Wildflower border, planted especially to encourage bees and pollinators and situated alongside our Bee Corner, where you’ll find lots of information about these fascinating and vital creatures. Visit our newly developed Herb and Sensory Garden, and Herb Garden Pavilion, generously funded by a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage. The Herb Garden Pavilion provides a shady spot and seating where visitors can enjoy a quiet break in the peace of the Walled Garden, finally before leaving we will see the birds of prey display before departing to travel home.
